Hope my sketchy recollection of this short story rings a bell with someone.
It was a short story in a 1970s British anthology (NEL, probably), and was a mix of science fiction and horror. It concerned the invention and abuse of a selective memory erasing device, and the end of the story had everyone in Britain enjoying the same meal and watching the same episode of Coronation Street each and every evening of their life - then wiping the memories and starting afresh the next day....

Don't worry if you can't find it. One or other of the major political parties should have it in their next election manifesto... |

That's not a story, that's what's happening for real.  |
